...and other landmark cases in support of our constitutional right to free speech. In a nutshell, in 2002 a highschool student in Alaska (bear that in mind) constructed a sign that bore that saying and displayed in an off campus parade as the Olympic torch went by. High school principal says that that behavior violates school anti drug policy. Only problem was, he wasn't on school property at the time of the incident. The principal did an inschool suspension for at least 10 days. Fast forward to the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco (bear this in mind as well) in 2006. They ruled that the principal enforced school rules in a zone not covered by school rules but protected by the constitutional right to free speech. Granted, 5 years has gone by but precedent has been set. The constitution still trumps something these days.!! And victory to those who take the hard way. May not seem like it at the time but there are things still worth fighting or taking a stand. I still happen to like what the old chaps wrote over 200 years ago and I don't think it needs much tweaking.
I see that the dollar theater has "Shut up and sing" about the Dixie Chicks and it is also coming to the mercyhurst film series this spring. So hats off to the first amendment.
